Gina

Emerging artist Gina Bruce invited me to her Randwick home to give me a glimpse of her upcoming show at Robin Gibson Gallery. In this quintessential suburban family home the painter's persona is ever present, especially once entering the backyard garage which has been converted into a studio


A number of watercolour on paper panels on her drawing table in
the studio which will be assembled into one large work




Egg tempera works stacked on a shelf with pieces of canvas and various other tools




Bubble-wrapped and ready for the framer




For the exhibition... an ink work, and a multi-panelled tempera work which may look familiar -
it was hung in the Dobell Prize for Drawing at the Art Gallery of NSW




The artist's tools




A room of one's own...




In the living room four year old May makes her mark next to a recent plein air work by Gina
